Ingredients

• 1 avocado
• 1 tsp of vanilla
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup plus 1 Tbsp of good maple syrup
• 6 Tbsp of 2% milk or milk substitute (I’ve used almond milk and hazelnut non-dairy creamer… both were great.)

Directions

1.     Scoop out the avocado and discard the pit.

2.     Put the avocado into a blender or food processor and add the remaining ingredients.

3.     Blend until the mixture is pudding consistency (2-3 minutes).  Make sure to scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula to fully combine the ingredients.

4.     Serve immediately or refrigerate until needed for up to 48 hours.  May need to stir before serving if consuming the following day.
